Restoring our Cellular Oxidation

Leaky Gut Syndrome and Energy Deficiency

It is now evident that oxidation problems underlie most of our modern diseases. As a result of diet-related and/or antibiotic-induced Candida overgrowth, we gradually develop inflammation and permeability of the intestinal wall. This condition is called leaky gut syndrome and it allows microbes and toxins to penetrate the lining of the intestines and invade the bloodstream, causing a gradually increasing blockage in the energy-producing mitochondria of our cells and weakening our oxidative energy metabolism.

As a result we develop what can become a seriously reduced ability to produce energy from our food. The liver may also be strongly affected, causing a deficiency of oxidative enzymes which may result in a weakened immune system, a less efficient fat metabolism, and also include difficulties producing haemoglobin, thyroid hormones, steroid hormones, connective tissue, healthy hair or skin colour and countless other defects. This is because all of these rely on efficient oxidation.

One of the main problems associated with modern diseases is energy deficiency. This is not only felt in weak muscles and lack of endurance but can also appear in the brain as a mental problem or disease. Lack of energy in the brain may manifest as schizophrenia, depression, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, while chronic fatigue syndrome manifests mainly in the body, as does cancer and many other diseases. If, where, and how this energy deficiency manifests in the body as a disease depends on inherited factors, mentality, emotions, nutrition, living conditions, toxicity and other causes.
